The Rolled Tapes and the Nakakainis Moment

Happy na sana noh??
Nakakainis! Yeah! This is one of the reasons kung bakit andito ako, doing another senseless post. Okay. Backward muna tayo sa mga events a couple of hours earlier. We were in this major class of ours, Teaching English as a Secondary Language (TESL), and there were eight of us tasked to make a mock class today. We were grouped into three, yung dalawa had three members while kami, dalawa lang sa group. Better na 'yun than to have more para walang gaanong glitches sa transition of delivering the lesson. 

Anyhow, we were there na talaga, reding redi super to the highest level na talaga. My partner and I cut plastic tapes para sa visuals namin while waiting for the two groups to finish. My hands were already sweating, my heart was abnormally beating nah and di na mapakali ang mouth ko. I was hyperactive though naubusan ako ng Enervon ngayong araw. Di ako naka-take ng vitamins ko. I even fought hunger para lang maging looking ready.Nag-recite ako ng uber uber para matanggal ang naiwang kaba sa chest ko.

But fate seemed put an end to my (good) tensions. Parang automatic na nag shut down ang system ko when I realized upon looking at my wrist watch na 5:15 nah. We are to be dismissed sana at 5:30 p.m. The first two groups who made their demo consumed so much of their time trying to construct the right English. Halatang flustered, kinakabahan, and about to collapse nah. Di na alam kung anong English ang gagamitin. Kawawa naman.Eto naman si ma'am, sumisingit para mag comment. Hay!

Inis ba 'to? 
How about the plastic tapes that we have cut then? Naglaro na lang kami with my seatmates using those rolled tapes. Pinadikit sa buhok, pinadikit sa chairs, pinadikit sa kung saan-saan. Di na kami pinansin ng teacher na nasa likod who was also busy pretending to smile sa kapalpakan ng mga nagdedemonstrate. My partner started to wear a funeral parlor on her face, at obviously di na nasiyahan sa kinalabasan ng mga pangyayari. 

In short, di kami nakapag present sa tamang oras. Ready na talaga na talaga na talaga na talaga kami, as in. I was soooo ready on the things that I have to say, on the things that I have to ask, and on the things that I have to do in front of my mock pupils. Pero andaming kontrabida eh. Time. The constant English speaking struggle of my classmates. Time. Time. Time talaga. 

Sana naman this coming Tuesday, magiging successful na ang presentation namin. Better than I have in mind, hopefully. 

Now, my hunger is back. I am in no mood to talk. I am in no mood to smile kahit gusto ko. I am in no mood to quench my thirst na kadarating lang dahil umihi ako. Sana naman po di na maulit. :/
